So, considering no MTA is running on a machine which runs mailman - how do I go through this part:
The way fetchmail works, you download e-mail from the remote server and pass it on to the local MTA. Therefore, you have to have a local MTA on the recipient machine. For Mailman, you need something to read those aliases and do the right thing with the messages being processed.
This local MTA doesn't have to be listening to any external ports or anything, but you do need something on that system to fill that role of taking the mail handed to it by fetchmail and then feeding that to the right program with the right command-line options. The easiest way to do that is to run a real MTA on that server.
